Ensors, which was established in Ipswich in 1889, has added new workspaces and internal meeting room pods to the office at Connexions on 159 Princes Street.
The firm has also added a new meeting room with bifold doors out on to a deck that overlooks neighbouring Ipswich Town Football club.
This new set-up houses the firm’s Business Services and Payroll teams in Ipswich, headed up by Partner David Fairbank.
David said of the expansion: “We had outgrown our existing space due to our strategic recruitment programme to handle exceptional business growth.
“It’s an exciting time for us as the extended office not only allows us to accommodate our growing number of staff comfortably, but also offer clients modern, high quality, state-of-the-art rooms for meetings.
“Our new meeting room pods facilitate privacy for colleagues to make video calls to clients who sometimes may prefer the convenience of Teams or Zoom to in-person meetings.”
“And in the summer months we will be utilising our deck with views over Ipswich Town’s Portman Road stadium for client and contact entertaining, as well as it being space for staff to enjoy fresh air on their lunch breaks.”
Ensors is one of East Anglia’s oldest and most respected firms of accountants, with more than 130 years’ experience of all aspects of accounting for East Anglia’s leading industries.
First established in 1889 by founder Isaac Lott Ensor, the firm’s roots are firmly grounded in Ipswich. Originating on Museum Street, previous names include I L Ensor & Son and Ensor Son & Goult before being shortened to Ensors in 1977.
After residencies on Elm Street, Queen Street, Franciscan Way and Cardinal House on St Nicholas Street, the Ipswich staff moved to Connexions in 2021.
Prominently located Connexions 159, which opened in 2016 and was the first speculative office development in the town for 26 years, has 43,551 sq ft (4,045 sq m) of Grade A accommodation across four storeys in the former headquarters of multinational Fisons.
In September, UK top 10 accountancy firm Azets acquired Ensors which has 300 colleagues across six offices in Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Huntingdon, Ipswich, Norwich and Saxmundham.
Ensors, part of Azets, continues to operate under its own name with a dedicated regional leadership team, led by David Scrivener as Regional Managing Director, East.
